Even if you weren’t mentioned here, I still love your blog and think that all bloggers need recognition for all the hard work they put in and the dedication they have to their blogs ❤ ❤ sorry that I couldn’t mention everyone here 😦 but keep spreading the blogger love people ❤ ❤

i’m like…freaking out. you’re straight up my #1 blogger crush and just like even being in a mutual with you is insane but this??? this is a whole new level. holy sh*t. IT HAS BEEN NO TIME AT ALL BUT IT FEELS LIKE FOREVER ❤

AAAHHH LUUUUU I love you so much thank you thank you thank you!!! I follow and love so many of the bloggers in this post (Ilsa, Ju, Jackie, Marie, Beth, Emma, Mikaela, Fadwa, Michelle…) and I wholeheartedly agree with all of their nominations (except for maybe Ilsa because I have a habit of hating everything she likes oops). Also HELL YEAH for posting this on time, even if I’m sad you won’t be posting this next month!!! But you take care of yourself, that’s the most important thing of all ❤

(also just wanted to mention that I don't identify as strictly gay/lesbian, and tho I'm fine with the term gay — I literally use it all the time lmao — queer would be a better label to describe my orientation, in case others were looking for a specifically lesbian blogger and thought it was me!!! 💕💕)

AHHH LU THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU’RE THE SWEETEST 😭❤️ I’m having so much trouble engaging with the blogging community lately because school, life, mental health and all that jazz so this means so much ❤️❤️❤️
You’ve nominated sooo many lovely people, a few I don’t know yet but I’m definitely going to check them out!

[…] Lu @ It’s Lu Again is the first and only blog that has ever star-struck me. Her posts are so fascinating, her page is so beautiful, and on top of it she has the BEST PERSONALITY EVER. Seriously. Her posts are addictive and I still can’t believe that she even follows me or knows of my existence at all. In other words, #goals. On every level. […]

I love this post Lu, and I love seeing the bloggers other bloggers who have taken part in this award have chosen to feature! 🙂 I really really want to take part myself but I’ve left it way too late and I know I probably won’t get the time, but I’m going to remember for next year because there are so many bloggers out there I want to feature. 🙂
Also thanks so so much for picking my blog, it really does mean so much to me (also I draft my TTT posts way ahead of time, that’s my secret! I draft all my posts way ahead of time if not I wouldn’t have the time to blog at all.) 😀
Great post, and again thanks so so much for nominating me. You’re amazing! 😀 ❤
